About Kids Against Plastic

Kids Against Plastic is a registered charity that is all about taking action against plastic pollution and climate change

Proudly supporting…

Welcome

Hello! We’re Amy and Ella Meek, and the founders of Kids Against Plastic! 

 

A few years ago we came across the UN’s Global Goals and got inspired to do our bit for the planet, and after finding out about the negative effect single-use plastic is having on the environment, we launched the Kids Against Plastic campaign.

 

Our charity has three main aims that we hope to achieve  through: EDUCATION (learning) and ACTION (doing).

Our Aims

Raise awareness and understanding of the problems caused by plastic misuse and the the impact of the climate emergency

Encourage and support others to become ‘Plastic Clever’ and ‘Climate Clever’.

Empower children and young people to believe they can make a positive difference in the world.

Registered Charity Number 1179917
